In this episode of More Christ, I sit down with historian and writer Dr Molly Worthen for a rich and searching conversation about faith, doubt, charisma, authority, and the modern spiritual landscape. Drawing from her deep research into evangelicalism, intellectual life, and the history of belief, Molly helps us understand why people are drawn to gurus, prophets, and charismatic leaders — and how Christians can pursue truth without losing humility, depth, or faithfulness.We explore the challenges facing Christianity today, the hunger for meaning in a disenchanted age, and how the life of the mind can serve — rather than weaken — a living faith in Christ. This is a thoughtful, honest, and deeply انسانی conversation for anyone seeking clarity, wisdom, and deeper roots in the Christian tradition.Learn more about Molly Worthen:Website: https://www.mollyworthen.comAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Molly-Worthen/author/B001JP3H5OIf this conversation helped you, consider subscribing, sharing, and joining us as we seek the true, the good, and the beautiful in Christ.

Calvin Beisner — a Christian author and founder of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation — to explore what faithful Christian stewardship looks like in a world wrestling with environmental, economic, and cultural pressures.

Dr Eoin Lenihan is an independent journalist and researcher. Born in the west of Ireland, he grew up in the Celtic Tiger era which shaped his views on politics, culture, and national identity. As a field archaeologist he witnessed first-hand the vandalisation of Ireland’s archaeological landscapes to make way for economic ‘progress’ and foresaw that Irish identity was in existential danger. Lenihan holds degrees in History and Archaeology from the National University of Ireland, Galway, and a doctorate in Pedagogy from the University of Augsburg. Focusing primarily on politics today, he has written for a wide range of international news outlets including The Federalist, The European Conservative, Gript, Daily Caller, Quillette, Post Millennial, and has featured on Al-Jazeera and Fox News among others. His peer-reviewed study of Antifa uncovered damning evidence of how Antifa in the US infiltrated the national media and remains the largest empirical study of the group to date.
